Alzheimer's Disease is the most common type of dementia (dementia). Since the life span is prolonged, the incidence of the society is increasing day by day apart from genetic factors. Factors such as diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, vascular disease, and smoking facilitate the formation of Alzheimer's disease. But what are the ways to delay and prevent the disease? The prominent protective factors in recent clinical research are:
I. Mediterranean Type Nutrition: Regular and healthy eating is important in any condition, but especially for people who eat Mediterranean dishes (olive oils, greens, fish, less red meat, more white meat, dried legumes, vegetables, fruits, etc.) or follow Mediterranean diet. it has been determined that the risk of developing the disease is reduced.
II. Red Wine: It was found that people who drink 1 glass of red wine a day develop less dementia.
III. Learning a New Language After the Age of 35-40: According to new research, it is determined that knowing more than one language especially delays Alzheimer's disease. It has been determined that learning a new language in the ages of 35-40 is an important protective factor.
IV. Going to New Places, Getting New Hobbies: It is important to go to new places, travel to different countries, acquire new hobbies and read books, especially after the 30s.
V. Exercise: It is known that people who exercise regularly get less disease. It has been proven in many studies that walking half an hour at least 3 days a week is very beneficial for both medical and psychological health.
VI. Watching Less Television: Maintaining an active life especially in middle and advanced ages is of great importance in the occurrence and delay of the disease. It is known that being active in people with the disease (being able to meet some of their own needs) slows down the course of the disease.
